Consideration Lists

Use your Collection Development Plan and current TitleWise Analysis, Selection Policies & Guidelines, Collection Development Tools, Reviews, Book Lists & Awards, and Diversity Resources on this wiki as you build your Consideration Lists. 

 

In TitleWave:

  • From Destiny > Catalog tab > Titlewave on left sidebar > LibraryMaterials -OR- 
    Log In to www.titlewave.com with your TitleWave username and password. 

  • Pull down the Saved Lists menu on right to Start a New List.

  • Name your lists, e.g. Voucher 2022 (for fall voucher) and CD 2023 (for your LMP collection maintenance funded order).

    • When you receive your Allotment Letter, add your DNE and the PO# to the List Notes for future reference! 

  • Over-order by at least 20% in case items go out of stock. (Do not over-order eBooks.)

  • Mark your most-wanted print and eBooks 1st Choice. Only select 50% or less of your order as First Choice. 

    • 1st Choice eBooks will fill first
    • 1st Choice print books will fill second (money will be held for all 1st Choice print books)
    • Remaining eBooks will fill third
    • Remaining print books will fill last 
  • Add a Note to specific book selections that LMP staff auditing your list might question (e.g. if you are replacing worn copies you already own, you found favorable reviews outside of TitleWave/reviewed the book yourself, etc.).

    • If you need assistance from a vendor customer service representative, contact:

  • Over-order by at least 20%.  Avoid selecting items listed as back-ordered or in bindery.

Annual Audits

  • School libraries will be selected at random to have their CD2021 lists audited by LMP staff prior to ordering. Those LMS will be notified to hold their orders pending the Audit, and may be asked to revise their lists.

  • All new LMS will have their CD2021 orders audited.  

  • Please Add a Note to selections in TitleWave that you think we might question, as shown in the screenshot above.

Book Shipments

  • Follett Orders may come in two shipments:  1st shipment immediately available titles, second shipment will hold to try to fill out of stock selections, especially those marked 1st Choice.

  • BTSB Orders may come in two shipments: 1st shipment immediately available titles, second shipment will hold for up to 60 days to try to fill out of stock selections up to DNE. After 60 days, if out of stock items still not available order will be closed. Important to over order by 15%!

  • CHECK the books in the boxes against the packing slip to ensure that all books listed were received:

    • Open the first box and remove the invoice for the order.
    • Check the contents of all boxes against the provided invoice.
    • Contact Donna Gruzs (dgruzs@bcps.org)  if there are any errors. Donna is engaged in daily conversations with both companies and is the best support to correct or fix any issues.
      • Titles listed on the invoice that are not in the boxes.
      • Titles in boxes that are not listed on the invoice.
      • Titles shipped that you did not order.
      • Missing boxes.
      • Wrong invoice.
      • Any additional issues or concerns. 

  • Donna Gruzs will import the MARC records in alignment with the expected delivery date. Check 2-3 titles from the shipment in Destiny to confirm the MARC records are imported before shelving the books/offering them to students. Contact Donna Gruzs, dgruzs@bcps.org, if the MARC records are not imported. 

  • Books from Follett will include an ownership label on the title page of each book. Books from Bound to Stay Bound will not include an ownership label; you can print your own labels or use a school library stamp on the title page: Name of School Library, Baltimore County Public Schools (or whatever is on your school library stamper).
